• The percentage of minority students attending hyper-segregated schools has nearly tripled since 1988. Why do you think this is?
• The narrator clarifies: “This is not a Little Rock story – or even just a Southern One.” What narratives do Northerners tell that make this clarification necessary?
• How did the testimonies shared by the students compare to how you talked about school as a student? How students you know talk about school today?

• “It’s not a story of progress it’s a story of total inequality of schooling” – How does this observation compare to our narrative around racial equity in the U.S.?
• Is it possible to achieve equitable schools in a segregated society?
• How does one navigate making the “best choice for your child” and the potential negative impact that it could have on the whole?
• Acute residential segregation is much worse in the north than in the south. What is the effect of residential segregation in Minnesota?
• We often hear: “It’s about housing, it’s about economics, but it’s NOT about race.” Why?

• How might the experience of The Park Slope 10 have been different if they were students of color integrating a completely White high school?
• Park Slope’s application pool started to change dramatically when White students started to attend – which the Principal states “is an interesting comment about how people evaluate a school.” Unpack this comment.

John Biewen has been telling his bike story to his friends and family for many years. Do you have any stories like that with racial implications? Why do you tell them? What is unspoken in them?

What role does "feeling safe" play? Whose safety do our communities and country prioritize?

John Biewen expresses his expectation that he would receive credit for walking through the neighborhood - he wanted to be seen as a hero, as a "good white person." What does this mean? And where does it come from?

How different do different people's "Americas" look? (John's and Michael's, for example)

John Biewen talks about how is family wasn’t very economically privileged “by white people standards” – but then talks about all of the ways that he was privileged in other capacities. How do we talk about “privilege”? How is economic privilege different than racial privilege? How do they intersect? How do people use economic privilege (or lack of) to avoid talking about racial privilege?

Chenjerai Kumanyika talks about the power that officers feel in the wake of so many verdicts that do not convict officers of wrongdoing. How do these verdicts and videos impact how you see policing/ police officers? Do you have conflicting feelings if you have a friend/ family member in law enforcement?

Chenjerai Kumanyika’s closing question: What is that resistance to change the justice system really all about?
